D.H. Lawrence, Forever on the Move: Creative Writers and Place Louise Desalvo 20 D.H. Lawrence, Forever on the Move: Creative Writers and Place Louise DeSalvo Even at the end of his life, when D.H. Lawrence was seriously ill with tuberculosis, so ill and invalided that he spent most of his time in bed, he was one of the most peripatetic writers who ever lived. During 1927 (when Lawrence experienced the first of a series of serious hemorrhages), through 1930 (the year of his death), Lawrence and his wife Frieda lived in a series of inns, hotels, borrowed houses, and rented villas; they also visited friends and family for extended periods. All this time, though much weakened, though moving from place to place, Lawrence composed Lady Chatterley’s Lover, one of his masterworks. In these last years, with little energy to spare from the difficult work of simply staying alive and writing – the Lawrences needed his income from writing and were often nearly destitute – Lawrence and Frieda lived in the Villa Mirenda at San Polo Mosciano, southwest of Florence; with friends in Forte dei Marmi; with Frieda’s sister Johanna at Villach in Austria to see if it helped Lawrence breathe more easily (it did, for a time). They moved into a borrowed house in Irschenhausen in Bavaria; moved back to the Villa Mirenda; considered moving back to Eastwood, in the Midlands, where Lawrence lived as a child, but didn’t; joined their friends the Huxleys at Les Diablerets in Switzerland; considered moving back to their ranch in Questa, New Mexico but didn’t (it was a gift to Frieda from Mabel Dodge Luhan); moved to the Grand Hotel in Chexbres-sur-Vevey, on the north side of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, to escape the summer’s heat in Italy; lived in a rented chalet, the Chalet Kesselmatte in Gsteig in Switzerland, for a summer; visited Frieda’s mother in Baden-Baden where the Lawrences decided to give up the Villa Mirenda; moved to Le Lavandou near Toulon; lived with friends for the winter in La Vigie in the island of Port Cros, but A Companion to Creative Writing, First Edition. Edited by Graeme Harper. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Published 2013 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (c) 2013 Kogan Page Ltd. All Rights Reserved 308 Louise DeSalvo Lawrence became increasingly ill there, so they decided to move on; journeyed by boat to Toulon, and then along the coast for a few weeks; settled in the Hotel Beau- Rivage in Bandol where Lawrence felt at home for the first time in a long while; journeyed to Paris to see to the private publication of Lady Chatterley’s Lover; moved to Majorca; returned to visit the Huxleys in Forte dei Marmi; lived in his publisher’s flat in Florence; moved into the Hotel Lowen in Baden-Baden; visited Kurhaus Platig in the Black Forest, where his condition worsened; moved to Rottach-am-Tegernsee in the Bavarian Alps, where Lawrence came to believe the altitude was wrong for him – here, they had virtually no furnishings, but they had a potted gentian bush, about which Lawrence wrote the poem “Bavarian Gentians”; moved to the Beau-Rivage in Bandol, where Lawrence believed he was able to breathe more easily; moved into the bungalow Villa Beau Soleil in Bandol, right on the sea, with wonderful air and light; moved into the sanatorium Ad Astra in the mountains of Vence (for this move, Law- rence packed his own trunk, and tidied the villa for Frieda before moving); moved into the Villa Robermond in Vence because he believed the sanatorium wasn’t doing him any good and because he didn’t want to die there; dreamed of returning to his ranch in New Mexico, but couldn’t, because now he was near death; died in the Villa Robermond in Vence. All told, Lawrence moved over a hundred times during his lifetime – he was only in his mid-forties when he died, and didn’t begin to move often until he was in his late twenties – averaging five to six moves a year, when others as sick as he was would have stayed put. While some might claim that a settled life is necessary for a writer to be prolific, that moving from one place to another disturbs the rhythm of a writer’s work habits, Lawrence’s example proves that this truism doesn’t hold for every writer. Lawrence remarked several times that he moved so often because he was searching for a place where he could breathe freely – both literally and metaphorically: in Austria, he felt he needed to leave because, he said, “I feel I can’t breathe” (Letters, iv.63–64). He thought that the mountain air would be good for him, and so moved to New Mexico; he thought that he might breathe better in the south, and so moved to Mexico. Having lived, in childhood, in the mining town of Eastwood in the Midlands, having suffered, from childhood, from a respiratory illness caused by the effects of breathing soot-filled air, he wanted, more than anything, to live in a place free from the harmful effects of industry. He preferred unspoiled places away from people who might interfere with his work. He needed to live where he felt free from people’s demands and so, when he felt people were trying to control him – as when Mabel Dodge Luhan wanted him to revitalize her – he resisted, packed up, and moved on. And though he never found a domestic Eden – for wherever he moved soon displeased him – that very restlessness, that search, that seeking and not finding, seemed essential for his work. Lawrence knew he needed to move to spark his creativity. Though Frieda didn’t want to leave Kiowa Ranch in Questa, New Mexico, in 1925, Lawrence’s decision to (c) 2013 Kogan Page Ltd. All Rights Reserved Creative Writers and Place 309 move back to Europe prevailed (Letters, v.28). Lawrence knew that a settled life would not work for him. He needed to feel that he could move at any time. Paradoxically, he continually searched for the perfect place to live, suspecting he wouldn’t find it. This tug of war – wanting to find a domestic Eden, needing to move on – seemed necessary for his work. He did not question his impulses and moved when he thought another place might suit him better. When it didn’t, he moved again. He knew he needed to leave England after The Rainbow was banned and after he and Frieda were forced to leave their cottage in Cornwall because they were accused of being spies; he knew that staying in England would kill him and would forestall his ability to write, and so he and Frieda moved to Europe. He knew he needed to leave Europe because the aftermath of the Great War profoundly affected him, and so he journeyed to Ceylon, Australia, and America: the “War finished me: it was the spear through the side of all sorrows and hopes” (Letters, ii.68). He knew when he needed to travel to rejuvenate his art and to find new subject matter. So he journeyed to Sardinia and wrote Sea and Sardinia; to Australia and wrote Kangaroo; to Etruscan sites and wrote Etruscan Places; to New Mexico, where he hoped to write a novel about Indians, and where he penned essays about them, poems about the landscape, and The Woman Who Rode Away, St Mawr, and The Princess; to Mexico, where he wrote The Plumed Serpent; to Italy, where he wrote Lady Chatterley’s Lover, after he became very ill in America and realized that life on the ranch in New Mexico was too hard. Write what you know well, that truism beginning writers are taught. And for the first several of his novels, D.H. Lawrence did write what he knew: from The White Peacock through Women in Love, Lawrence’s novels were set in England and examined his current thinking about relationships between men and women based upon his own relationships. In Aaron’s Rod, Lawrence used his journey from England to Italy, his adulterous relationship with Rosalind Baynes, and his belief about the corrupt state of Europe, as sources. Early on, Lawrence believed he could become an insider to high British culture because of his achievements. But he learned that although people like Lady Ottoline Morrell and Bertrand Russell might lionize him, they treated him more as a curious specimen – the son of a miner who’d become a famous writer – than an equal. Law- rence was an outsider, as John Worthen has observed in D.H. Lawrence: The Life of an Outsider. He did not belong in his parents’ mining community; he never gained entry into the center of British intellectual and artistic life. No matter how brilliant he was, no matter how groundbreaking his work, he could never be completely accepted: “I do not belong . at all, at all” (Letters, ii.33). This enraged him, yet Lawrence understood that his outsider position was necessary for his art, and he cultivated it, forcing a distance between himself and others, writing long haranguing letters criticizing his friends for their behavior, and exposing their peccadilloes in his work. From the margins, he could launch ferocious attacks against whatever or whomever he observed, for he wanted people to change their ways to reflect his ideals. When he lived in England, he savaged Ottoline Morrell in (c) 2013 Kogan Page Ltd. All Rights Reserved 310 Louise DeSalvo Women in Love, and he couldn’t understand why the people he criticized in his work objected, and even initiated lawsuits against him (DeSalvo 197).

  • Appendix: Lawrence's Sexuality and His Supposed 'Fascism'
    Appendix: Lawrence’s Sexuality and his Supposed ‘Fascism’ The vexed question of Lawrence’s sexuality is exacerbated by the fact that in his lifetime any published evidence was likely to be affected by the need to avoid hostile legislation. It is clear that he was sometimes attracted by other men, this being evident from the chapter in The White Peacock where Cyril expresses his delight in George Saxton’s ath- letic body and reflects our love was perfect for a moment, more perfect than any love I have known since, either for man or woman.1 The sentiment is echoed in the unpublished ‘Prologue’ that formed the opening chapter to Women in Love. In this he noted the fact that he was rarely attracted by women, but often by men—who in such cases belonged mainly to two groups: on the one hand some who were fair, Northern, blue-eyed, crystalline, on the other, dark and viscous. In spite of this, however, there was no admission of active homo- sexuality.2 Previously, his remarks on homosexuality were extremely hostile, as witnessed by his remarks concerning the young men who gathered round John Maynard Keynes at Cambridge and the soldiers he witnessed on the sea-front in Worthing in 1915.3 Knud Merrild, who lived close to Lawrence for the winter of 1922–3, was adamant that Lawrence showed no signs of homosexuality whatever.4 In the novel Women in Love, Birkin engages in the well-known incident of wrestling with Gerald Crich, but this appears to be the closest they get to the formation of a physical relationship.

  • Lawrence's Dualist Philosophy
    The Plumed Serpent: D. H. Lawrence's Transitional Novel by Freda R. Hankins A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the College of Humanities in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida April 1985 The Plumed Serpent: D. H. Lawrence's Transitional Novel by Freda R. Hankins This thesis was prepared under the direction of the candidate's thesis advisor, Dr. William Coyle, Department of English, and has been approved by the members of her supervisory committee. It was submitted to the faculty of the College of Humanities and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Chairperson Date ii ABSTRACT Author: Freda R. Hankins Title: The Plumed Serpent: D. H. Lawrence's Transitional Novel Institution: Florida Atlantic University Degree: Master of Arts Year: 1985 The life and the philosophy of D. H. Lawrence influenced his novels. The emotional turmoil of his life, his obsession with perfecting human relationships, and his fascination with the duality of the world led him to create his most experimental and pivotal novel, The Plumed Serpent. In The Plumed Serpent Lawrence uses a superstructure of myth to convey his belief in the necessity for the rebirth of a religion based on the dark gods of antiquity; coupled with this was his fervent belief that in all matters, sexual or spiritual, physical or emotional, political or religious, men should lead and women should follow. Through a study of Lawrence's life and personal creed, an examination of the mythic structure of The Plumed Serpent, and a brief forward look to Lady Chatterly's Lover, it is possible to see The Plumed Serpent as significant in the Lawrencian canon.

Department of f~ jn^ CcQ^l The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date i ABSTRACT Lawrence's Letters dated September and October, 1924 give clear evidence that Lawrence considered St. Mawr, "The Princess", and "The Woman Who Rode Away" to be an organic group related in terms of theme, mood and setting. My interpretation of the archetypal patterns under• lying these three works gives further evidence of their overall unity in symbolic and structural design, a design which consists of five major features: 1) a marked dependence on mythic patterns which manifest the psychic growth of the heroines, and structure that growth in terms of the heroic quest.

  • A Study of D. H. Lawrence's Treatment of Women in the Short Story
    A STUDY OF D. H. LAWRENCE'S TREATMENT OF WOMEN IN THE SHORT STORY A STUDY OF D. H. LAWRENCE'S TREATMENT OF WOMEN IN THE SHORT STORY BY ANNE MCKAY, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University October 1984 MASTER OF ARTS (1984) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: A·Study of D. H. Lawrence's Treatment of Women in the Short Story AUTHOR: Anne McKay, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Ne Shrive NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 95 ii Abstract This thesis examines, through a study of theme, characterization and plot, D. H. Lawrence's portrayal of women in his short stories. The study concentrates on a selection of stories that reflect particular patterns and trends of the female character. In general, there are three patterns that are easily identifiable. The first pattern depicts the trapped woman g who always remains trapped in an unhappy situation. The second pattern involves the woman who tries to escape an unhappy situation but is destroyed because of her attempt to abandon a dissatisfying life. The third pattern presents the seemingly "successful" couple, and yet, the only reason for their successful relationship is ,that the woman is . subordinate to the power of the man. We find in these patterns evidence that indicates that Lawrence repeatedly uses the female to secure the authority of the male. The fact that the subordination of the female characters in Lawrence's short stories is neither explored nor explained within the fiction, ultimately detracts from the success of the works.

  • The Alps in D.H. Lawrence's Thought and Theology
    THE ALPS IN D.H. LAWRENCE’S THOUGHT AND THEOLOGY CATHERINE BROWN [NB This article will appear in Journal of D.H. Lawrence Studies, Vol 3, No. 2, 2013: this is a pre-edited version; please see the published version in due course for citations] “I never expected the mountains” “You never expected the mountains? Pray, why not? They are always there.” “But I was never there before. I never knew they were there [...] I didn”t expect it like that.” (AR 155) Thus Aaron Sisson addresses his host, having seen the Alps from the latter’s garden in Italy. He is neither the first nor the last Lawrence character to be deeply moved on seeing the Alps. Gudrun Brangwen, stepping out of the train in Hohenhausen, ejaculates: “my God, Jerry [...] you”ve done it now” (WL 398). She, Aaron, the Prussian Officer’s orderly, Mr Noon, and the Countess Hannele zu Rassentlow, are all moved by the Alps in ways which ressemble Lawrence’s own (non-fictional accounts of his) experiences of them. His first Alpine view, like Mr Noon’s, was from the valley of the Isar, where he and Frieda lived in the summer of 1912 before crossing the Alps on foot. Thereafter the Alps recur in his life and writings. He was not only attracted to the moderate versions of North and South Europe - Bavaria and North Italy - which flank the Alps on either side, but often deliberately, on his oscillation between them, prolonged his journeys. In 1913, 21, and 27 he crossed the Alps both ways, and in 1928 in both ways twice; overall, in half the years of his life after 1912, he visited the Alps (see Appendices 1 and 2), and wrote about them repeatedly between 1912 and 1928 (see Appendix 3).

  • Q. What Is the DH Lawrence Ranch?
    Prepared by the D. H. Lawrence Ranch Alliance Taos, NM June l-5, 2013 D. H Lawrence Ranch Overview Q. What is the D.H. Lawrence Ranch? A. The D.H. Lawrence Ranch, also known as the Kiowa Ranch, is located in San Cristobal, New Mexico, approximately 20 miles north of Taos. Situated on Lobo Mountain and comprising 160 acres, it is located at 8,500 feet. Under the 1955 Last Will and Testament of D.H. Lawrence's widow Frieda, it was entrusted to the University of New Mexlco (UNM) for the purpose of creating a public memorial to the world-renowned writer. Q. What is the D.H. Lawrence Ranch Alliance? A. The non-profit D.H. Lawrence Ranch Alliance, a project of the Taos Community Foundation, is a group of localcitizens and admirers of D.H. Lawrence's work, who believe that the Ranch should be preserved as a memorialto his legacy as a writer, historicalfigure, and cultural magnet. The Alliance includes members of the local Pueblo, Hispanic, and Anglo communities. lt is supported andsponsoredbytheTaosCommunityFoundation,alocal philanthropicorganization. Membersofthe Friends of D.H. Lawrence, an international literary association are involved, along with local landowners and business people. Regrettably, for the past five years the Ranch has been closed to public access (unless special permission is received from the UNM-Albuquerque campus). The Alliance wishes to reverse this situation, and make the Ranch publicly accessible on a regular schedule. The Alliance has offered to develop a docent program with local volunteers, and it has raised money (530,000) for the repair of the memorial structures.

H. Lawrence’s The Woman Who Rode Away and Other Stories, first published in 1928, was drawn together from heterogeneous sources: some of the thirteen stories presented in the 1995 Cambridge Edition were written specifically for commissions (“Glad Ghosts,” “The Rocking Horse Winner” and “The Lovely Lady”) and others seemingly to keep their author amused (Letters 4: 564), perhaps even maliciously so (“The Border-Line,” “The Last Laugh” and “Jimmy and the Desperate Woman”).1 The impetus for the collection came from the publisher Martin Secker, who “proposed it specifically with a view to bridging over the gulf between ‘The Plumed Serpent,’ now two years old, and the next Lawrence novel, which may be a little way off” (WWRA xlv).

Lawrence's literary landscape holds a peculiar import that crystallizes and becomes most vivid when he writes about the American South-West, Taos holding a place in his fiction that is perhaps even more important because of its separateness from the other places he describes in small-town England or on the Continent. He revisits Mexico and New Mexico in his fiction several times, most notably in The Plumed Serpent (1924) and shorter novellas and stories like "The Princess," "St Mawr" (1925) and "The Woman Who Rode Away" (1928). For the purposes of this paper, I will concentrate on the two latter stories, but the emphatic presence of the landscape is plain in them all; for instance, the Princess "want[s] to look over the mountains into their secret heart. She want[s] to descend to the cabin below the spmce trees, near the tarn of bright green water.
